Speaking as someone who has absolutely no knowledge of how Wikipedia is run.. what is the biggest expense? Is it the hosting, bandwidth, or maybe HR.. I mean the stuff that takes the lion's share of this $150M?
- h_anna_h 5y ago"Hosting wikipedia accounts for roughly 2% of their total expenses" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26056276 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26056276 The links in the post explain where the stuff is spent.
- superasn 5y agoThat was super informative.. thanks! Only 2% is insane - I was thinking a lot lot more!
- ghaff 5y agoWell, that's internet hosting. The biggest expense (almost half) is people, at least some of which is doubtless related to operating that internet hosting. They also give out a fair bit in grants/awards.
